A current in a coil of wire produces an emf that opposes the original current.
Recall (lecture 19): Induced lectric Fields changing magnetic flux through wire loop produces induced emf I B Faraday s law ε dφ B = - N dt Question: What force makes the charges move around the loop? cannot be magnetic force because (i) magnetic force does not accelerate particles (ii) wire loop does not even have to be in B-field
Induced lectric Fields Solution: there must be a tangential electric field around the loop voltage is integral of electric field along path Faraday s law turns into dφ B ds = - dt I r B is increasing. This electric field exits in space even if there is not an actual wire loop!
Work done by Induced lectric Fields induced electric field exerts force q on charged particle instantaneous displacement is parallel to this force Work done by electric field in moving charge once around the loop: I ds r W = F ds = q ds = q ds = q 2πr 0 ( ) work depends on path force of induced electric field is not conservative one cannot define potential energy for this force
Different character of Coulomb and induced electric fields reflected in electric field line geometry: q = k, away from + 2 r - + I ds r Coulomb: field lines begin and end at source charges Induced: field lines form continuous, closed loops.
Induced lectric Fields: summary of key ideas A changing magnetic flux induces an electric field, as given by Faraday s Law: dφ B ds = - dt This is a different manifestation of the electric field than the one you are familiar with; it is not the electrostatic field caused by the presence of stationary charged particles. Unlike the electrostatic electric field, this new electric field is nonconservative. + C NC conservative, or Coulomb nonconservative It is better to say that there is an electric field, as described by Maxwell s equations. We saw in lecture 17 that what an observer measures for the magnetic field depends on the motion of the observer relative to the source of the field. We see here that the same is true for the electric field. There aren t really two different kinds of electric fields. There is just an electric field, which seems to behave differently depending on the relative motion of the observer and source of the field.
Direction of Induced lectric Fields The direction of is in the direction a positively charged particle would be accelerated by the changing flux. dφ ds = - dt B Hint: Imagine a wire loop through the point of interest. Use Lenz s Law to determine the direction the changing magnetic flux would cause a current to flow. That is the direction of.

Online at http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4717731.t The theta-pinch concept is one of the most widely used inductive plasma source designs ever developed. It has established a workhorse reputation within many research circles, including thin films and material surface processing, fusion, high-power space propulsion, and academia, filling the role of not only a simply constructed plasma source but also that of a key component Theta-pinch devices utilize relatively simple coil geometry to induce electromagnetic fields and create plasma This process is illustrated in Figure 1(a), which shows a cut-away of typical theta-pinch operation during an initial current rise.

General idea of induction: ddy Currents relative motion between a conductor and a magnetic field leads to induced currents in large masses of metal these currents can circulate and are called eddy currents
ddy Currents ddy currents give rise to magnetic fields that oppose the motion (Lentz s rule) Applications: metal detectors coin recognition systems security scanners circular saw brakes roller coaster brakes ddy currents heat the material (P= I 2 R) unwanted energy losses can be used in heating applications

xample: Induction Stove An ac current in a coil in the stove top produces a changing magnetic field at the bottom of a metal pan. The changing magnetic field gives rise to a current in the bottom of the pan. Because the pan has resistance, the current heats the pan. If the coil in the stove has low resistance it doesn t get hot but the pan does. An insulator won t heat up on an induction stove.

Displacement Current Apply Ampere s Law to a charging capacitor. ds B ds = μ I 0 C I C + - +q -q I C
Ampere s law is universal: Shape of surface shouldn t matter, as long as path is the same Soup bowl surface, with the + plate resting near the bottom of the bowl. ds Ampere s law: B ds=i encl =0 I C + - +q -q I C two different surfaces give: B ds = μ0i B C ds = 0 Contradiction! (The equation on the right is actually incorrect, and the equation on the left is incomplete.)
How to fix this? Ampere s law (as used so far) must be incomplete charging capacitor produces changing electric flux between plates A q= C V = κε 0 ( d) = κε0a = κε0φ d Changing electric flux acts like current dq d d = 0 = 0 dt dt dt ( κε Φ ) κε ( Φ ) ds I C + - +q -q I C This term has units of current. κ Is the dielectric constant of the medium in between the capacitor plates. In the diagram, with an air-filled capacitor, κ = 1.
Define a virtual current: displacement current ε= κε 0 d I D = κε 0 ( Φ). dt changing electric flux through bowl surface is equivalent to current I C through flat surface ds I C + - +q -q ε is NOT emf! I C include displacement current in Ampere s law complete form of Ampere s law: dφ B ds = μ0 ( IC + I D ) = μ0iencl + με 0. encl dt Magnetic fields are produced by both conduction currents and time varying electric fields.

Displacement currents explain how current can flow through a capacitor, and how a timevarying electric field can induce a magnetic field. Back emf. A current in a coil of wire produces an emf that opposes the original current.
back emf (also known as counter emf ) (if time permits) changing magnetic field in wire produces a current changing current produces magnetic field, which by Lenz s law, opposes the change in flux which produced it http://campus.murraystate.edu/tsm/tsm118/ch7/ch7_4/ch7_4.htm
The effect is like that of friction. The counter emf is like friction that opposes the original change of current. Motors have many coils of wire, and thus generate a large counter emf when they are running. Good keeps the motor from running away. Bad robs you of energy.
If your house lights dim when an appliance starts up, that s because the appliance is drawing lots of current and not producing a counter emf. When the appliance reaches operating speed, the counter emf reduces the current flow and the lights undim. Motors have design speeds their engineers expect them to run at. If the motor runs at a lower speed, there is less-thanexpected counter emf, and the motor can draw more-thanexpected current. If a motor is jammed or overloaded and slows or stops, it can draw enough current to melt the windings and burn out. Or even burn up.
